Public Transport
The City Transport Authority (Dopravni Podnik or just DP in Czech language) network covers the whole city of Prague and includes trams, city buses and metro (subway). But nevertheless, the compact historical centre is best appreciated on foot. You can use one ticket on all parts of the public transport system. They can be purchased from the yellow machines in metro stations, from newsstands or from the City Transport Authority Information Offices. Validate your ticket by punching it in a little yellow machine in the metro station lobby or on the bus or tram.
Prague
by metro
The metro network is safe, reliable and clean. There are three lines (A-green, B-yellow, C-red) and around forty stations. It runs from 5 am to midnight daily every 3-10 minutes. Get the map of metro routes from the City Transport Authority web pages! The bus and tram network covers the whole city of Prague. Most of them run daily from 4.30 am to 11.30 pm every 5-25 minutes. Get the maps of tram and bus routes from the City Transport Authority web pages. You can also find the schedules there.
Prague
by tram
The system of the tram is very close meshed and can also be used during the night. The stops are announced clearly. Especially in the city centre a ride with the tram can open your eyes for new things.
Prague
Taxis
Going by taxi is usually cheap but be aware that there is a strict price system. But taxi drivers are usually not really fair to tourists as they want to get money easily. Usually they charge higher prices as from the municipality told. So before entering a taxi you should agree on a price. An amount you can use as a benchmark is Kc 100 per kilometre. In this case the taximeter should stay off. If you book in advance you can ask for the official price list. Recommendable is AAA taxi where you can book a taxi in English Tel.: 14014).
